Still have to try Stille Nacht, actually I haven't tried Oerbier either!

Picked this up yesterday, and I'm glad I did. Not too boozy and sugary but also not too light and watery. The sweet spot for stouts.

Also, ONLY 1 WEEK LEFT TO SIGN UP FOR THE HOLIDAY BEER-IT-FORWARD!

I LOVE Freudian Slip. You drunk off of 1 yet?

Had this tasty brew the other night. Nothing I like better than a well done bourbon barrel aged pumpkin spied ale and Central Waters did really gourd job with this one...plus, it was only $6.99!

Urm no... I need a bit more than that

Went to Tree House for the first time yesterday:

2x Double Shot, 1x Eureka with Galaxy, 2x Sap

Sap is pretty good. Reminded me of Lawson's hopecelot.

Sap is soooo good. How was the wait? Thursdays have been brutal. Double Shot is scrumptious, but Good Morning (maple syrup added) was the best beer I had from them.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one while watching the Bears actually win a game last Sunday.

I think we waited around 30/40 minutes. Didn't get there until 6:30 or so. I really wanted to go last week when they had Julius but I heard the wait was really bad. My buddy who was driving me didn't have a lot of time to spare so we waited.

That sounds really good!

Fresh 2014 bottle, and I'm just floored by how good it is...

What's even better is I have a bottle of the Rye bourbon from Longman whose barrels they used put this beer to sleep in...

 

[hc4thehc]

Stellar!..

^^ I've had it at the source and it is indeed delicious.

At DBA in Brooklyn right now.

Had this tasty stout from Ale Syndicate last night. Lots of roasted malt flavors with just a touch of hoppiness for balance and at $11.99 a great deal too.

Interesting. I drink a lot of their Sunday session but I don't find it very interesting so I have been hesitant to seek out their other beers (I do trivia at a bar where it is on special that night... And then we frequently win a round which nets us another round of free Sunday sessions)
